cwrt.club is an organisation with people at its heart, driven by community, connection and a shared love of movement. Founded out of Cardiff with strong ties to Llanelli, cwrt is proudly Welsh at its core and committed to making padel affordable, accessible and welcoming in local communities across Wales. Our clubs are designed to capture the social and enjoyable spirit of padel. More than just courts, spaces to meet, move and belong.
cwrt.club was born from a belief in the wider benefits of exercise, not just for physical health, but for mental wellbeing, community and social connection. Padel embodies that belief. It’s simple to learn, naturally social and genuinely inclusive, making it a sport that almost anyone can pick up and enjoy, regardless of age, background or experience.
Yet despite being one of the most accessible sports to play, padel in the UK can still feel expensive, exclusive and intimidating to get into. We believe it should be anything but. That’s why accessibility, affordability and community sit at the heart of everything we do.
The inspiration behind cwrt.club is rooted in a lifelong love of sport and its power to connect people. This continues to guide our vision as we look beyond our first club in Llanelli, with the ambition to grow cwrt.clubs across Wales, particularly in communities where access to facilities is currently limited.
cwrt is about more than sport. It’s about creating spaces where all people feel welcome comfortable to connect and play. We hope you join us on cwrt and join us on our journey.
Yes! We have 4 designated parking spaces for the club right next to our courts, as well as the general parking at WINS sports facility which is free to use. Please try to share rides between players where you can.
Dogs are not allowed on court, however if you’d like to bring your well behaved fluffy friends to watch from outside of the court we would love to meet them! However please keep them on a lead at all times and pick up any mess they make!
We don’t have a club shop at our Llanelli site, but we have two vending machines where you can buy balls, drinks and other accessories as well as a second machine where you can hire rackets.
Rackets are available for hire from our lockers, please ensure they are looked after and put back so that the next players can use them too. Balls are available to buy and can be reused, alternatively you can always use an older tennis ball to have a knock as these are very similar to new padel balls.
There are no changing rooms or toilets on our site but you can use the changing rooms, toilets and showers inside WINS sports centre. See the map for directions.
You can find our site below!
Though the sport is competitively only played in a doubles format, there is nothing wrong with making a booking for 2! Whether you play a singles match cross court in the boxes, or fancy getting some extra practice (and steps) in then by all means go for the full court.
All bookings are cancellable up to 6hrs in advance so if the weather doesn’t look like it’s on your side – feel free to rebook for a drier day!
Lessons are booked the same way, through Playtomic. Choose a coach and a time that suits you.
To see our upcoming events please head to what’s on. That will take you to our events calendar where you can see what’s going on at cwrt.club and get booked on! We will post about any upcoming events on our Instagram, but as always feel free to drop us a message with any questions or ideas for events or collaborations!
Our opening times are from 8am–8pm, there are floodlights that will come on automatically if you are playing outside of daylight hours. The courts are unmanned so please see signage and QR codes around the site for additional info or to report any problems when you are playing.
Most of my career has been spent working in sportswear, which taught me how sport, design and community fit together. Now I’m putting all of that into building a padel club that feels like home.
Why padel: Padel is my favourite way to switch off. It’s fast, social and easy to get hooked.
I have a degree in Sport Media and a background in professional football, spending over a decade with Bristol City Academy and represented Wales at U19 level.
Why padel: Having played tennis throughout my life, I discovered padel and quickly fell in love with its combination of sport, competition and social connection.
